The CESTAT held that the contract between the appellant and MPT for providing tug services for berthing and unberthing vessels was classifiable as 'Supply of Tangible Goods Service' u/s 65(105)(zzzzj) and not as a deemed sale liable to VAT. The taxable event for Service Tax was the receipt of payments after introduction of the service from 01.03.2008, irrespective of the contract signing date.
